If you’ve experienced total tooth loss in one or both arches, full dentures can restore your smile, function, and confidence. At Victoria Dentists, your go-to Hamilton dental clinic, we offer complete denture services led by our experienced on-site clinical dental technician.
With direct access to our denture repairs team, you’ll benefit from seamless care and personalised treatment planning – from initial consultation to final fitting. Whether you’re searching for a denture dentist near you or need advice from an experienced oral surgeon, you’re in expert hands with Victoria Dentists.
What Are Full Dentures?
Full dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace all the teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw. They restore the appearance of a natural smile while allowing you to eat, speak, and function more comfortably. Dentures also help maintain facial structure and prevent the sunken appearance that often comes with tooth loss.
If you’re unsure where to start, our team provides family dentistry services in Hamilton with a strong focus on comfort, precision, and personalised care.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are fitted on the same day your natural teeth are extracted. These are created in advance using impressions taken before the extraction.
Advantages:
- No time without teeth – you leave our Hamilton dental clinic with a complete smile.
- Help protect the gum tissues during early healing.
- Provide emotional and functional support during a challenging transition.
Considerations:
- May require more adjustments as your gums and bone shrink during healing.
- Initial fit may not be as precise as delayed dentures.
- A permanent denture may still be required after full healing (typically 6–12 months).
Delayed (Conventional) Dentures
Delayed dentures are made after your gums and jawbone have fully healed from extractions—usually after 6–12 weeks.
Advantages:
- Better fit and comfort due to being fabricated on fully healed tissues.
- Fewer adjustments required over time.
- Often more aesthetically refined.
Considerations:
- You’ll need to be without teeth (or wear temporary dentures) during the healing phase.
- May not suit those needing immediate function or appearance.
Which One Is Right for You?
Choosing between immediate and delayed dentures depends on your:
- Oral health condition
- Lifestyle and appearance needs
- Budget and timeframes
- Willingness to manage a healing period
At Victoria Dentists, your expert dental clinic in Hamilton, our clinical dental technician works closely with our dentists and, when needed, our oral surgeon, to deliver a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
